Roaming in Russia

If some time ago roaming was expensive, and it was not affordable for everyone, today it became a very popular service, which is available in most countries of the world. Roaming allows your mobile phone to operate abroad and at the same time to keep your domestic phone number. Not only it allows you to make and receive calls, but also to use SMS, MMS services as well as mobile Internet (GPRS). The bill for roaming will be presented to you by the end of the month, but before that foreign mobile operator will bill your mobile provider for the services that you have used.
